While the text itself reads to me like #2, I think that #1 would be the most logical behavior. I am pretty sure that most client developers read the XEP as #1 and thus only look for one <delay/> element to extract the original timestamp. At least that's what my client does. A client would need to iterate over all <delay/> elements and pick the one with the oldest timestamp, hoping that all entities have synchronized clocks. This is a behavior that I certainly can not read from the XEP, so I would be surprised if many clients implement it. In the IM context, you are usually not so much interested in the individual delays or their causes (which you can't determine from the 'from' JID anyway), but rather in the total age of the message. Therefore, I would suggest the following behavior: If your entity delays a message, only add a <delay/> element if there is none in the message already.
